At what age can I bring my child swimming?
The following are recommendations taken from the ISRM guidance notes
All children under the age of 8 years muct be accompanied by a responsible adult (over 16) . They will go into the water with the children they are accompanying and whilst in the pool the responsible adult (over 16) should maintain a constant watch over the children they are responsible for and be in close contact with those who are weak or non-swimmers.
Standard ration, in a traditional 25m pool with deep and shallow water recommends that children under the age of 4 should be accompanied by an adult on a one to one ratio.
Children aged between four and seven should be accompanied by a responsible adult (over 16) on a two to one ratio.
During our leisure swim programme we have made provisions to extend the usage for under 4's by allowing responsible adults (over 16) to enter the pool with under 4's on a two to one ration at the following times:
